Sharon Otieno, a Rongo University student, was expecting a child with Migori Governor Okoth Obado when she was murdered in 2018.

High Court Judge Jessie Lessit has set December 2 and 3 for the trial of Obado, Oyamo, and Obiero, who are accused of the crime.

Obado, Oyamo, and Obiero were charged in connection with the killings alongside two other suspects, who are yet to be named.

According to the prosecution, Oyamo plotted the killing and drove to a police station, pretending he had been kidnapped by the gang hired to kill Sharon.

Obado is out on Sh5 million bail, while Oyamo and Obiero are on Sh1 million bail each.

Thirty witnesses have been lined up to testify against the accused.
